No, we're not in Japan, but this might be as close as we're going to get. We gave making sushi our best shot.
First: the cucumber slices, carrot slices, beef strips, rice, and seaweed sheets.
Second: cover the seaweed with a thin coating of rice.
Third: Lay strips of veggies and meat.
Fourth: Roll it up.

Perhaps our downfall was the lack of a sushi mat, or really cheap seaweed sheets, or that our rice was too hot or too wet... but there was definitely a downfall. It was still good; it just looked more like a seaweed massacre than an elegant night at a Japanese sushi restaurant.
